Three recent resources to share:
- An article written for Radical, the ministry of David Platt. They asked me to write about the most important ways churches disciple children. I’m no expert, but I answered in the truest way I know how–nothing flashy or new. It’s called, “The Most Important Way Churches Disciple Children.“
- An interview with Hunter Beless of the Journeywomen Podcast on the topic of rest. I enjoyed this conversation so very much. I hope it serves you.
- An article at Desiring God called, “Comparison Is Not the Thief of Joy.” This is something that’s been a theme of my writing, but I’ve never addressed it this directly. I pray it helps us use comparisons to fuel our growth, joy, and maturity into Christ.
I’m hoping to get a page set up here on the blog with links to any and all writing, interviews, and talks done elsewhere, for easy access. Bear with my slowness on all this–my desire is to make this online corner a place that serves the family of God in its small way–trusting that even small things can bring him glory. Much love to you all.
I just read your article on keeping kids with you in church. We have a 4 boys: 7, 6, 3, and 19 month old. I can see having the 2 older with us; however, how do you respond to those who are putting together chikdren’s church and investing themselves in the ministry to kids during the service (we are in a church of about 150 people if that helps and our older two are ones of 6 or so in the class). I love the option for believing kids to be in “big” church to participate in worship, hearing the gospel, giving, the Lord’s supper, baptisms, etc. Yet looking for ways to love those investing in the children’s ministry and not withdrawing?? We go back and forth on this…
